Commenting
on the announcement, Rory Bruer, president, Worldwide Distribution
for Sony Pictures, said, "Pixels is an extremely fun ride with
dazzling special effects – which makes it a perfect match with
IMAX. Moviegoers will love how exciting this 3D summer tentpole looks
in the IMAX screens."

The
IMAX® 3D release of “Pixels” will be digitally re-mastered into
the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary
IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear
images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful

Pixels
is directed by Chris Columbus. The screenplay is by Tim Herlihy and
Timothy Dowling, with a screen story by Herlihy, based on the short
film by Patrick Jean. The film is produced by Adam Sandler, Chris
Columbus, Mark Radcliffe and Allen Covert.

In
“Pixels,” as kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), Will
Cooper (Kevin James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and Eddie “The
Fire Blaster” Plant (Peter Dinklage) saved the world thousands of
times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades. Now, they’re
going to have to do it for real.

When
intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and
misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth,
using the video games as the models for their assaults -- and
now-U.S. President Cooper must call on his old-school arcade friends
to save the world from being destroyed by PAC-MAN™, Donkey Kong™,
Galaga™, Centipede®, and Space Invaders™. Joining them is Lt.
Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying
the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.

Opening
across the Philippines in August 26, “Pixels” is distributed
by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing
International.
